What are the x- and y-coordinates of point P on the directed line segment from K to J such that P is 3/5

Respuesta :

Answer:

P is [tex](\frac{3x_{2}+5x_{1} }{8}, \frac{3y_{2}+5y_{1} }{8})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let K be [tex](x_{1}, y_{1} )[/tex] and J be [tex](x_{2}, y_{2} )[/tex]

P divides the line segment KJ in the ratio 3:5.

Then, P is [tex](\frac{3x_{2}+5x_{1} }{3+5}, \frac{3y_{2}+5y_{1} }{3+5})[/tex]

P is [tex](\frac{3x_{2}+5x_{1} }{8}, \frac{3y_{2}+5y_{1} }{8})[/tex]
